CTV News Spot - Flo Glassblowing

My friend and fellow artist, Melody Jewitt was recently featured on the CTV News show at noon. She and her business partner, Bronwen McKnight, opened a lovely glass blowing studio and showroom - Flo Glassblowing - on Gladstone Ave. near Ottawa's Littly Italy. The film clips show Melody crafting a glass bird and Bronwen blowing a glass ornament.
